    Why not? What question in particular are you talking about? I don't see why we would need to use them though..

  • @Seth I just find it tricky and it could be taked to make spam, don't you think?

    I've never even seen one used on this site, so I don't consider it an issue.

    @Mateo Yeah, that is what I mean! (and actually it is not spam, is a link to this same question, just trying to prove my point). I wouldn't spam on meta, I think no one would.

It's not disallowed but it's a feature built for a specific purpose. To hide plot spoilers.

I don't see how that'll apply to us but I can't say it never will. Just don't use it for other things. Your example is a good example of illegitimate use. That should be edited out (or if it's actually spam, just plain flagged up as spam).
